I can't see why not.
Unless you manage to write some crappy awful Backstory that makes me cringe.

My mind is like yarn and squishy things and cute animals with a bunch of blood and skeletons over in the corner.

All right. Bio. Let's do this.
Started RPing when I was about 12. Since then, I've become exceptionally more literate. I like me some SciFi, some spooky horror, and any sort of Dystopian setting.
In the real world, I'm a moderately interesting person. I'm majoring in Microbiology and minoring in philosophy. I sew corsets, knit warm fuzzy things, and never have enough money to travel to the places I want to see.

Yeah...it's been quite a while now. I don't think we'll be seeing Roman anytime soon. But I really don't want to see this story die.
Sitting in the apartment above the lobby, Sass could clearly hear as each of the Sprayers arrived. Her Sprayers. These could very well be her new family. She listened intently to each voice. The first called out a simple 'hello', loud enough that she frowned disapprovingly at the noise. It was good to be able to hear them, but she hoped that she was the only one who heard. The second voice sent chills through her, calling out her name. Sass. No one had called her by that name in months. Even the sound of it reminded her of her old crew. She could have sworn it was one of them speaking it, but she knew better.
Four more voices followed the other two. The cloud painter, Free; another asking who had sent the note; another, female this time, warning everyone to quiet down; and a final voice that whispered something too quiet for Sass to hear, who was later addressed as Clarion. Six. Add herself, and it was one more person than she'd had in The Devil's Own. It was a good size for a crew. Nodding to herself, Sass stood up from the couch where she'd been sitting. Her unruly hair was already pulled back in a ponytail. All she had to do was tie her signature red-skull bandana around her face, and pull up the hood of her thin sweater. Shrugging her backpack over her shoulders, she went to introduce herself.
She walked down one floor, heading to the lobby, keeping her footsteps soft enough to remain mostly unheard. The group had quieted down somewhat, and she could now barely hear the whispering voices. Taking a breath to calm her own fraying nerves, Sass reached the bottom of the stairs and regarded her group. Masks were on, hoods were up. She couldn't see faces, but that was a good sign. Clearing her voice, she grinned beneath her bandana and stood before them. "Glad you all showed up," she said. "Not gonna lie, I was a bit scared no one would stop by."
"So, I'm guessing you all have an idea already of why I called you here," she told them. Doubtless they had already been thinking she was starting up a crew, even if she hadn't said so yet. "I dropped off the world about six months ago. Had a bit of a run-in with the law. I'll spare you all the details. The point is...I'm back. And I need a crew."
She cast her gaze around the room once more, looking at each of the people gathered there. Her gaze lingered perhaps a second longer on Gray's face. The part of his face uncovered by a mask sent pangs of familiarity through her. Maybe this would be harder than she thought. Sass hadn't counted on her mind placing the faces of her old crew everywhere she looked. "I've been going out, looking at all of the paintings. If you saw an 'X' on your painting, it means I liked it. It means I think you're a hell of a painter, and it means I want to work with you," she told them. "That is, if you're willing to work with me. If you do, we can start tonight. I got a few jobs lined up with some of my old contacts. What do you say?"
Leaning against the wall, Sass waited for the reactions. Whatever people had to say, she hoped they would say it quickly. The cameras outside had doubtless registered at least one of these people entering the abandoned apartment after curfew. At most, they had a half an hour before the authorities set out.

Shoot. I knew that. This is what happens when I review character sheets late at night. XD
Chant and Merc, both accepted. Awesome characters. :D
Loving all of the posts so far. I should have something up for Sass and Mallory within a few hours. :D

Ack, Gonzo, your timing is horrendous. I just closed it off because it was getting crowded in here. And I don't want to be that asshole that makes exceptions.
I've got a system in the rules where if a person goes AWOL for more than a week and a half, their character is retired and their spot opens up. I've got another friend interested in joining, so I'll PM you both if space opens up. :)

Ack. I've definitely done that before. Or had my browser crash midway through typing. It sucks. A lot. >.<
Gisk, 100% okay. Thank you for that, actually. I was having so many brain farts trying to come up with a code. You summed up exactly what I was thinking.

And we have lift off! Post is a teensy bit short, I wasn't watching the time and I had to rush a little.
Everyone with a Sprayer character can have them gather in the lobby of the abandoned apartment. :D

In an abandoned apartment, Lauren "Sass" Hedley sat on the empty couch. Her feet were propped up on the coffee table, and a backpack filled with gear sat next to her. Despite the fact that she looked relaxed, if not bored, Sass was inwardly terrified. Tonight, after six months of retirement, she was ready to enter the world of the Sprayers once more. A half a year ago, she'd been the leader of one of the city's best crews. Until the night when they'd been caught. Sass frowned. Those were thoughts she didn't like to entertain.
It was well past curfew, around one in the morning. This same time two nights ago, she had been running around the city with a can of red paint. If Sass saw an artist's work and liked it, she had tagged their painting with a bright red 'X'. It was a symbol that hadn't shown up in the city since her crew had disappeared six months ago. Doubtless, there would be excitement. Confusion. Suspicion. Maybe some people thought that some mischievous young Sprayer was going around impersonating Sass. But no, the X's were her's. Along with them, she had taped a scrap of paper to each piece of graffiti, bearing confusing instructions on where to meet her. The instructions were written cryptically, almost in a code. Even if a law enforcement officer had found them, they wouldn't have understood what they meant. Only a Sprayer could figure them out.
Now, Sass waited. Any minute, her new potential crew members would be walking through the door of the abandoned apartment, gathering in the lobby. She would go down to meet them, talk with them, determine if they were what she was looking for. No one would ever fill the hole left by her old crew. But maybe, just maybe, teaming up with artists once more could help. She missed Spraying. It was time for her to get back in the game.

Edited the OOC. Added transportation, city appearance, and rules. It's now complete, but always subject to change as our storyline develops.
And the IC should be up within a few hours! :D
